I sent a DM to the admin yesterday. If they don't respond or address the issue, we will be defederating.

It's a shame it had to come to this, I liked rammy.site very stable and almost never goes out, why do bigots have to ruin everything for us...
It’s their plan. Sort of like how they trash the comment sections of posts on Reddit until they get the post locked. They don’t want free speech used to talk about how they’re cowardly little shit examples of human beings.
No response from the admin. It's been done
I've said it before and I'll say it again — y'all are awesome, and thank you for all the work you're doing with this instance!
You know even though this is my home instance I fully support you defederating from it, I'd rather move to another instance than than have these assholes posting transphobic bullshit be allowed to come and harass the wonderful people here on lemmy.blahaj.zone as they please.
Yeah, Blahaj is an unabashed trans support space. My main instance is FMHY and that's a pretty hardcore free speech instance, so I'm not against free speech. But Blahaj just isn't a hardcore free speech space, there are simply other spaces people can get that. Our content simply isn't fit for those instances that don't want to moderate hate speech.
Plus having multiple accounts isn't even discouraged on the fediverse, many people have accounts just for Beehaw and will say as such, I have an account just for Blahaj and have no problem saying that. The good people from bad instances are more than welcome to make an account here, granted they follow the rules.
WTF is this instance anyway 😀 Say no to Nazis then The Forth Reich and Say no to groomers.
I would 100% advocate to defedarate
if there isn’t an overlap in userbase then i don’t see a reason to defederate, and if we did defederate then i think there would be more of a risk of brigading or harassment than there already is now. might as well leave the beehive alone so nobody gets stung
thats not how the fediverse does things
how so? it seems like a handful of users are the issue on that instance, they’re clearly just looking for a place to spew hatred so when those users find out a instance largely made up of queer folk defederated with their instance don’t you think they’d be more likely to make an account on another instance and bring the hate here? i think unless the admin is supportive of that behavior it would make more sense to give them a chance to deal with that on their own before deciding to defederate

I can't think why that would be the case. Bigots gonna bigot. I think they're likely to harass queer people because we exist, and anything that makes that harder (e.g. defederating instances that protect them) is good actually.
"Don't feed the trolls" never really worked, it just meant they continued to exist without opposition.

I disagree. Harmful, bigoted content is already being posted there. Defederating now protects this community from being exposed to it.
If the admin is responsive and deals with the issue, we can always federate with them at that point.
What a fucking cowardly response.
damn i get i was wrong but theres no need to throw around insults over it
So far as I could tell it was not an insult.
It was an accurate adjective.
